Comprehensive Lipid Profile for Cardiovascular Risk

Monitor Your Heart Health With a Private Cholesterol Test in Exeter

At Mayfield Clinic Exeter, we offer a thorough cholesterol test—also known as a private lipid profile—to assess your cardiovascular health. This test measures your total cholesterol, HDL ('good' cholesterol), LDL ('bad' cholesterol), and triglycerides. Evaluating all these elements together offers a complete picture of your risk for heart disease or stroke.

Our private GP service ensures a comfortable, discreet experience, making it simple and hassle-free to check your cholesterol levels. This service is especially important if you have a family history of heart problems, existing high cholesterol, or other risk factors such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Once your blood sample is taken, our GPs will interpret your results and help you understand your personal heart risk, offering expert guidance on next steps—whether that’s lifestyle changes, medications, or further testing.
